Journey To The Center Of The Earth 歌詞

 

By horse by rail by land by sea our journey starts

 

Two men incensed by one man's journey from the past

 

In Iceland where the mountain stood with pride

 

They set off with their guide

 

To reach the mountain side

 

Roped as one for safety through the long descent

 

Into the crater of volcanic rock they went

 

Look up from our telescopic laair

 

One star for us to share

 

We continue on our prayer

 

Crystals of opaque quartz studded limpid tears

 

Forming magic chandeliers lighting blistered galleries

 

Memories of a life on earth go flashing past

 

Of home of Grauben friends of whom he's seen his last

 

Contemplating what his life's been worth

 

While trapped beneath the earth

 

An embryo at birth

 

Pain and fear destroy the beauty I have seen

 

Of caverns where no other man has been

 

Silurian epoch hosts me as my grave

 

My final blow I wave

 

A life too late to save

 

Crystals of opaque quartz studded limpid tears

 

Forming magic chandeliers lighting blistered galleries

 

Five days out on an infinite sea they prayed for calm on an ocean free

But the surface of the water ws indicating some disturbance

 

The raft was hurled by an unseen source two hundred feet with

Frightening force

And a dark mass rising showed to be a giant porpoise

 

Rising out of the angry sea towered the creatures' enemy

And so the two sea monsters closed for battle

 

Crocodile teeth lizard's head bloodshot eye stained ocean red

Moving close to their raft's side the two men prayed as one and cried

Save me save me save me save me

 

The serpents' fight went on for hours two monsters soaring up like towers

And driving downn to the depths in a single motion

 

Suddenly the serpent's head shot out of the water bathed in red

And the serpentine form lay lifeless on the ocean

 

Crocodile teeth lizard's head bloodshot eye stained ocean read

Battle won a victor's pride the three men thanked the Lord and cried

 

Praise God praise God praise God praise God

 

Journey on through ages gone to the centre of the earth

 

Past rocks of quartz and granite which gave mother nature birth

 

Burial ground of ancient man his life no more is seen

 

A journey through his time unknown I wonder where he's been

 

Wonder where he's been wonder where he's been wonder where he's been

The shore now gone behind the hills a forest in our sight

 

Rocks and distant mountains bathed in waves of blinding light

 

Forests from far gone time no living man has seen

 

A private prehistoric world for you and I a dream

 

Brownish hue dicates my eye no colour hides their fear

 

Flowers faded dull and cold now bleached by atmosphere

 

Creatures twisting under trees huge monsters soaked with rage

 

Hidden deep below our earth a frightening bygone age

 

Their shepherd came now long extinct a huge primeval man

 

 

The three men filled with disbelief just turned as one and ran
